A RARE 1IN:32FT SCALE WATERLINE MODEL OF H.M.S. HAWKINS MODELLED BY NORMAN OUGH, 1926, the hull carved from the solid with painted sides and natural deck, carved and painted fittings including capstan, bitts, anchors with painted chains, main and secondary armament, bridge with fire control, masts with radio aerials and signal lanyards, stayed funnels, covered boats in davits, and other details, mounted on raised cloth-covered plinth with maker's plate, name and scale plates, and contained within ebonised wood glazed cover with exhibition label to one corner. Cased measurements -- 6½ x 23½ x 6½in. (16.5 x 60 x 16.5cm.), Norman Ough (1898-1965) was principal model maker to both the National Maritime Museum and Imperial War Museum and made commissions for many others as well as private clients. A considerable eccentric, he was sometimes found half-starved having forgotten to eat for days being so wrapped in his work. His models are considered amongst the finest evocations of the genre, capturing the essential spirit of the ship and, at an age when few, if any short cuts were available, did not see the need to over-crowd detail. This model was presumably a private commission for someone connected to Hawkins, another example of this ship is held in the Imperial War Museum, Catalogue No. MOD1637., H.M.S. Hawkins was one of the five 'Cavendish' class cruisers ordered in 1915. Designed primarily for trade protection, Hawkins was built at Chatham where she was laid down in June 1916. Displacing 9,750 tons (12,190 deep loaded) and measuring 605 feet in length with a 65 foot beam, she could steam at 30 knots and carried a surprisingly heavy main armament of 7-7.5in. guns. Launched in October 1917, she was not completed until after the end of the Great War and her first tour of duty was as flagship to the 5th Light Cruiser Squadron on the China Station where she served from 1919 - 29. After a spell in the East Indies, she was rearmed in 1939 just in time for active duty in the Second World War during which she initially served as Flagship to Rear Admiral Sir Henry Harwood immediately after the Battle of the River Plate; She was scrapped in 1947.,

HERZNER HANS-ALBRECHT: (1907-1942) German Oberleutnant of World War II, the first man to engage in combat at the beginning of the war, one week before the official commencement of hostilities. Herzner was also the first recipient of a decoration for valour in World War II. Extremely rare, bold pencil signature ('Herzner') on a small oblong 12mo ticket, possibly removed from a larger document. The pale pink printed ticket bears the black printed numbers 5 and 281 along with several other light pencil numbers. One small file hole towards the left edge, not affecting the signature. VG On Friday, 25th August 1939 at 15.02 hours Adolf Hitler issued his order to attack Poland in what was known as Operation White. However four hours later he rescinded the order although it came too late to stop Herzner and his thirteen man special commando unit who had crossed the Slovakian-Polish border at 00.03 hours on 25th August, intent on preventing the destruction of the strategic Jablunka Pass Tunnel by the Polish Army. At 03.55 hours Herzner captured the railway station at Mosty, but failed to secure the tunnel as a result of stiff resistance. When radio communications (which had been lost) were re-established with Herzner's HQ, a few hours later, he and his unit were immediately withdrawn. One Pole had been killed, two Germans wounded and one taken prisoner. On the 1st September Hitler re-ordered the attack on Poland and, once again, Herzner captured Mosty. The tunnel was destroyed by the Polish Army. For his actions Herzner received the Iron Cross II Class.
